Amara- Age 18
1838
Amara sat looking at herself in the mirror of her dressing table, so
many emotions were running rampant through her head. Today, of all
days, she should have been feeling overjoyed and excited. However,
for some peculiar reason, she just felt a heaviness weighing on her
heart. She walked over to the window and looked out at all of the
people that were starting to gather in the yard. The whole town was
gathering out there for her and Timothy Hanes’ wedding party.
Tomorrow their wedding would take place at noon. Even though it was
the talk of the town, she could not understand what the big deal was.
All she knew was that she was finally marrying the man she had loved
for as long as she could remember. Most of the people that were in
attendance for the festivities did not agree with her being allowed to
marry Timothy, with him being from a vastly different social setting
than her. It was unheard of in this town, and a lot of people were upset
that her father was allowing the wedding to occur. The wealthy men, in
the small Georgia town they had grown up in, believed marriage
should be treated as a business deal and that you should never marry
beneath your social status.
Several of the men in the area had pined after Amara since she
was just a child, hoping to have the chance to make her their young
trophy wife. She had always been breathtakingly beautiful even at a
young age. With flaming red hair that hung in long flowing ringlets,
and piercing emerald-green eyes, she always drew everyone’s attention
when she entered a room. The even greater appeal to these men was
the fact that she was also the heiress of an exceptionally large fortune.
That had the men of the town salivating to get their greedy hands on
her and her money. Most of the men that had come to Richard
Hammonds, Amara’s father who was a very prosperous plantation
owner, asking for permission to court her, were much older than her. It
repulsed Amara to think of having to marry one of them, but
mercifully, Amara’s father had wanted her to marry for love and not
for money. This led to him continuously turning them away. This had
raised a lot of questions within the community because Richard was
not following their traditions, but he paid them no mind. He had
known what he wanted for his child since the day she was born. He
had wanted her to be happy and nothing less would do. He had not
wanted her to be a pawn in someone else’s financial gain game. He
didn’t care about the gossip and rumors it caused. She was his only
child and all he cared about was her health and happiness.
